His office in Centreville isn't anything special but the outpatient center in Chantilly where they perform the procedure is quite good. Dr.

is a pleasant person, a good listener, and has a reassuring manner. His practice was able to see me within 24 hours of my calling for an appointment and conducted the procedure 3 days later.”

Dr

performed my upper endoscope. I had originally scheduled a upper endoscope and a colonoscopy but the staff dropped the ball and turned into my insurance as a preventative procedure instead of a diagnostic which it was definitely a diagnostic. Even after I called my insurance and did their work for them they still didn't ...More turn it in right. The nurses were great and very nice. The anesthetist was good and knowledgable. The procedure was very well done but afterwards the care stopped completely. I didn't hear back from the doctor with any results for two weeks. Dr Leals nurse called and told me the doc wanted me to take a steroid

pack and an antibiotic. Both of which I'm allergic to and was clearly stated in my pre procedure documents. After i asked the nurse why these were prescribed and informed her I was allergic to them both she said she would call me back. She did within a couple minutes to tell me Dr.

wanted to know what happens when I wake e drugs prescribed me. As I was answering her the doctor interrupted. He was apparently listening in on the call and told me that I wasn't allergic to those drugs and everyone has that reaction. He then very aggressively told me I needed to go to an allergist because I didn't know what I was allergic to. I was very taken back by his quick to anger

. He then hung up and a few minutes later I received a call form an allergist making an appointment to which I declined. I have a well documented medical diagnosis to explain my drug allergies. I wish I could take the drugs he prescribed but they make me very ill. He was very unprofessional and his refusal to think a little when confronted with a challenge showed me he is not a good doctor even he did good with the endoscope machine he was rude, aggressive and arrogant. I hate I went through all that for nothing. I highly recommend not using Gastro because of the way they handled my insurance and very much WARN you to not use Doctor

. One more thing. I took them a MONTH to call in an acid reflux med. seriously a month! That's awful service!”

“

my experience with this place is horrible. I visited Dr.

(one of the doctors in Dr.

's office) twice. First time I arrived the office 30mins earlier to fill out forms. And they made me wait 3-4 HOURS in a small cold office before I could talk to Dr.

. I was pretty angry ...More but thought that was probably b/c of too many patients at the end of year. the 2nd time I still waited for more than 2 HOURS. Dr.

came in and only talked for less than 5 mins. I have never had such terrible experience with a doctor's office. Their staff is terrible too. No one picked the phone and they will never call you back if you leave message. I will not go back to this office again.”

From start to finish, the receptionist, insurance, and the actual procedure, they showed nothing but true professionalism. I felt very comfortable every step of the way. They are a well oiled machine. The rooms were all very clean. Dr.

was my physician and did an outstanding job, very professional with great bedside manner. They ...More take most insurances and generally take care of everything.”

Prepare to wait to see him. It's rare when he's running on time, but it's worth the wait. He's not going to rush through the appointment just to keep a schedule. The usual wait time to see him is about 20 minutes.”

I did not have any problems. The place is like a dormitory with multiple station and procedures all going on at the same time. Hence the lack of response, quality, and professionalism. A written report mailed to you is the norm.”

Great practice!! Love the Docs! I was treated very well. Doctor

was especially helpful and made me feel as if I was his only patient. He is kind, warm, and very good at what he does. Front desk, nurses, scheduling was great. All were helpful and kind. Most definitely recommend this practice!”
